Farm Birthday Cupcakes

These cupcakes were for my daughter's 2nd birthday with a Farm theme. I got so caught up in decorating for the party and baking the cupcakes, I didn't get to make any wrappers :( 

I can totally see how catering the desserts for your event would be so much easier, but I can't do that because I just prefer the taste of my cupcakes over all the other competition (I may be just a little biased...)

The cows were vanilla with vanilla buttercream, the yellow chicks were lemon cake with lemon cream cheese frosting, the horse was chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream and the pigs were a new flavor- vanilla cake with a raspberry filling and raspberry flavored buttercream. 

The raspberry filling I made from scratch and all the lemon juice that went into the lemon cake and frosting was all squeezed this morning by hand from juicy, fresh lemons. They may have only looked half  complete from the vision I had for them, but they were fresh, moist and delicious!

I also have to showcase the adorable handmade invitations done by Arrows and Ink (email amyvlivingston@gmail.com to place an order), a fellow crafty entrepreneur with her own card making company. I told her I wanted a girly farm theme with a pink barn and she came up with these fantastic invitations I will cherish!
